Nacho Vigalondo’s Extraterrestrial Teaser Trailer

Alright, I know what you’re thinking: not another damn alien invasion movie. Although Extraterrestrial is directed by the same guy who brought us the fantastic time travel thriller Timecrimes, I too was wondering what he could possibly do to set himself apart from the large number of similar films that have come out recently. However, that being said, the first teaser trailer is not at all what I expected. There’s no action, no explosions, and very little in the way of special effects.The movie seems more like a quirky love story that just happens to have an alien invasion as a backdrop, although I’m hoping there’s a little more to it than that.
Julio wakes up hungover in the apartment of the girl of his dreams, and neither of them know how he got there. The fact that there are UFOs in the sky seems only slightly more strange, and as unbelievable as it is, Julio is apparently a lot more interested in the girl. Much like Skyline (ugh), it seems like the majority of the movie will take place in the apartment, but I’m pretty curious to see how it all plays out. Extraterrestrial is making its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival this weekend, and with any luck we’ll have a review up on the site sometime in the near future. Until then, check out the teaser trailer after the jump and see what you think!
